Recently I heard this contemporary ceramicist on Desert Island Discs – catch it if you can – the power of an immersion in a particular aspect of creativity that touches me deeply, and I notice a longing for that completeness of experience.

And I have just listened to ‘The Forum’, a Saturday Radio 4 programme, with Edmund de Waal and others – FASCINATING!!

I am still trying to process the discussion in my mind – I will need to listen to it again in a couple of days – I find it difficult to explain what it has done to my mind, which feels like it is touching infinity, and at the same time I am experiencing an expanding sensation in the centre of my chest – wooo! Mind altering!
